Tonight, you're scrolling through
the newsfeed, grimacing
over a hypocritical speech, turning
down the volume if a child
cries for help in a reel,
maybe this does help you feel
more detached.
Are you skimming over scary numbers?
4139 killed,
1047 were children.
8 schools, 1 hospital,
178 homes.
I figured.
You're in a pain that is so deep-rooted,
you almost miss it when it calms down.
But tomorrow is Monday, so
lock your screen, roll
over to the other side of the bed.
Dream of an orange-sunset,
bomb-free day.
